Home exercise videos are a great option for those who don’t always have time to go to the gym. But with all the exercise videos out there on the market, how do you choose which one is right for you? It’s okay to admit that the location of the video, as well as the physical appearance of the instructors, is one deciding factor. If you can stay motivated during a video that’s shot inside a standard exercise studio where the instructors wear spandex and tube socks, then that’s great for you. But the rest of us may need a little flair during the program. When picking a video, check and see where the instruction takes place. “Total Body Sculpt with Gilad,” for example, takes place on the shores of Waikiki in Oahu. The ocean is a beautiful blue and there are palm tress swaying in the breeze. The instructors are decked out in stylish, matching outfits. In the “Caribbean Workout,” three instructors wearing coordinated workout gear teach aerobics moves in a beautiful beach resort. For some reason, it seems a lot easier to work up a sweat and complete the program if there’s a tropical beach in the background. In fact, if you’re close to the beach, get yourself outdoors and burn mega calories with a beach workout. Another fun video is “Kathy Smith’s Kickboxing Workout.” She and her crew wear baggy, “street style” clothes and perform all their moves in a boxing ring in a warehouse to set the scene. And many yoga videos are shot in tranquil forests or in Asian temples, providing you beautiful scenery to admire as you stretch. Working out is hard enough as it is, so when you pick a video, make sure that the scenery and physical aesthetics are motivating enough for you.
